An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a clear and comprehensive database which integrates procedures and processes required to manage an organization’s environmental risks and associated environmental programs.
One of the key environmental activities in 2015 was to revise and redraft environmental management specification. The key objective of this revision was to simplify and to ensure all the environmental risks are addressed in our specifications.

benchmark against international best practices. In parallel, an extensive internal assessment of environmental risks, mitigation and opportunities was conducted. These two foundational activities led to development of initial draft of specification for Environmental Management. Finally, thorough engagements with different teams at all levels of organization were conducted to seek feedback on this specification.
This extensive exercise resulted in consolidation of four existing environmental specification into a single specification for environmental management.

The aim is to provide a single starting point towards understanding and managing environmental risks in new projects and existing assets.
The specification for Environmental Management is sub-divided into nine individual sections, each focusing on different environmental risk areas. Each of the nine sections lists mandatory requirements and organizational accountabilities to mitigate and manage those risks.
The new specification can be accessed via link on PDO Environment webpage. Please feel free to contact MSE 2 team for any feedback and questions.
